A disco-pop anthem born from heartbreak and neon lights.

“Good Vibes Only” is the latest single from NZ artist Molly Devine — a glitter-soaked blend of retro disco, funk, and modern pop-soul.

Written after a breakup and inspired by a rainbow-lit mirror from Bunnings (yes, really), the song is about choosing joy, movement, and healing through groove.

With funk-driven production and Molly’s soulful vocals, it channels the vibes of Jessie Ware, Róisín Murphy, and Chromeo — all with a uniquely Kiwi twist.

Good Vibes Only

I wrote a song called "Mass Confusion" and shared it with an auditorium full of several hundred people at the "Summer Songwriting Workshop" at Berklee College of Music, Boston, in August of 2001. One faculty member didn't like my song, because after listening to it, he told me in front of the assembled auditorium full of people that "your song causes mass confusion".  Another faculty member complemented me on one aspect of the song lyrics, which I appreciated. 9/11 occurred less than one month later. Fast forward to 2025. I took my lyrics of "Mass Confusion", added some of the lyrics from the Beatles song "Yesterday", and created several versions. This particular one is with female vocal harmonies, and an acoustic feel.

If you'd prefer a more uptempo version, here's my YouTube video of that:

I'll probably post that version on SoundCloud also.

Here are the lyrics:

Thought that things were going smoothly
Thought everything was alright
But what I think and what is real are not the same
And he is gone and I don't understand
The words he said provided no such clue
Mass delusion, mass confusion, what am I to do?

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Why he had to go?
I don't know, he wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

We had such good times together
Times that I thought were so special
We talked and laughed and did the things that lovers do
But he is gone and I am so bewildered
The words he said provided no such clue
Now I'm only sad and lonely, can't believe it's through

Why he had to go?
I don't know, he wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mass delusion, mass confusion, what am I to do?
Mass delusion, mass confusion, what am I to do?

Yesterday (cover of Beatles lyrics)

Tell them how you really feel, you don't need them 

I dont need you anymore

Dealing with the end of a relationship with someone with an avoidant attachment system. They love you, but they can never love you (unless they do the work). 

Lose Things Easy

I think most of us have been through this at some time or other!

Songs From the Heart

Lost Echoes

FAILED ROMANCE

An ode to all the time and energy I’ve had stolen from me -by other people and myself …no more 

I wasted all my days 
Wasted so many nights 
I wasted everything I had 
You wasted every  thing I am
I wasted all that time 
Wasted something divine 
I wasted everything I had 
And you wasted everything I am 

I am wasted on you 
I was your muse 
But you chose to abuse me 
I am wasted on you
Don’t dare look confused 
coz I won’t let you use me 


I wasted half my life 
Wasted my head with lies 
I wasted everything
you wasted everything I am 
I wasted too much art 
Wasted most my heart 
I wasted everything 
You wasted everything I am 

I am wasted on you 
I was your muse 
But you chose to abuse me 
I am wasted on you
Don’t dare look confused 
coz I won’t let you use me

Wasted no never gain
So wasted you can’t understand 
Wasted no never again 
Wasted words you never said 
Wasted no never again 
Test me you’ll understand 
Wasted no never again 
Wasted everything I said

wasted

Where Do I Stand?

BROKENPROMISE

She broke his heart—he grabbed a beer and lit up the night. "Ain’t No Tragedy" is a bold, country-pop anthem for anyone who's ever been betrayed and decided to laugh instead of cry. With gritty swagger, driving rhythms, and a touch of Western flair, DJ Eddie A and Jason Beaudin serve up a breakup banger that's all about walking away with your head high and your boots on. This track doesn’t mourn—it moves on.

AIN'T NO TRAGEDY

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again ...💜🤘🏻💜

4/20/2025: I updated my profile to accept direct messages only from those that I follow. Most of the direct messsages were from people who heaped overly exaggerated flattery and praise on me, only to ask me to pay them to increase my popularity. And none of them have left similar comments at my songs so that all can see. Which makes me question their sincerity.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free.
